Introduction

Introduction to Buccal Fat Removal

Overly round or prominent cheeks can cause self-consciousness for patients. They may be embarrassed over a “baby face” or a “chipmunk-like” appearance.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Arash Moradzadeh in Los Angeles performs the procedure with a finely honed eye for detail and artistry, delivering a stunning transformation that heightens confidence and peace of mind.

What Is Buccal Fat Removal?

For patients troubled by overly round, full, or enlarged cheeks, buccal fat removal is an excellent solution. Dr. Moradzadeh utilizes today’s most progressive techniques to ensure that neither too much nor too little fat is removed from the midface. You can rest assured that your final outcome will be symmetrical and harmonious with the rest of your features. While buccal fat removal is a powerful contouring option on its own, Dr. Moradzadeh regularly combines the procedure with other facial rejuvenation techniques, including facelifts, neck lifts, neck-and-chin liposuction, BOTOX, and dermal fillers.
